歌词
If I die young bury me in satin
如果我英年早逝 请将我裹以绸缎埋葬
Lay me down on a bed of roses
请让我沉眠于铺满玫瑰的花床
Sink me in the river at dawn
请让我于黎明时分溺于河底
Send me away with the words of a love song
告别我 以情歌中最美的情话
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
主啊，请将我变作彩虹，我想要照耀我的母亲
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
她会知道我同你安全地在一起
She'll know I'm safe with you
当她站在我五颜六色的光芒下
When she stands under my colors
噢 生活并不总是你想的那样
Oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
并非那般绝望黑暗 即使她亲手埋葬了自己的孩子
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
（相比于）拥有须臾生命的利刃
我已经活了足够长的时间
The sharp knife of a short life, well
如果我英年早逝 请将我裹以绸缎埋葬
I’ve had just enough time
请让我沉眠于铺满玫瑰的花床
请让我于黎明时分溺于河底
If I die young bury me in satin
告别我 以情歌中最美的情话
Lay me down on a bed of roses
（相比于）拥有须臾生命的利刃
Sink me in the river at dawn
我已经活了足够长的时间
Send me away with the words of a love song
我会身着白衣进入你的梦之王国
仍旧青涩 同我冰冷手指上的指环一般
The sharp knife of a short life, well
我虽从未感受过男子给予的温柔
I’ve had just enough time
但当他牵起我的手 那种感觉确该如此美好
这座小镇中有一个男孩说他会永远爱我
And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
但谁能料到竟会这就样天人永隔
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
（相比于）拥有须臾生命的利刃
I've never known the lovin' of a man
我已经活了足够长的时间
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
所以请穿上你最好的衣装 我也会戴上我的珍珠
There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever
了结我未完成的愿望
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
一分钱买我的思想 噢不 我的出价是一块钱
当我成为逝者后 他们将更有价值
The sharp knife of a short life, well
也许只有那时你才会听懂我吟唱的歌词
I've had just enough time
当你逝去之后 人们才开始倾听 这是多么可笑的事
如果我英年早逝 请将我裹以绸缎埋葬
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
请让我沉眠于铺满玫瑰的花床
What I never did is done
请让我于黎明时分溺于河底
告别我 以情歌中最美的情话
A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar
Oh oh
They're worth so much more after I’m a goner
鸽子的歌谣
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin’
伴随着平静和爱
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin’
攒起你的眼泪吧 将它们收进你的口袋里
好好保存着直到你真正需要它们的时候
If I die young bury me in satin
（相比于）拥有须臾生命的利刃
Lay me down on a bed of roses
我已经活了足够长的时间
Sink me in the river at dawn
请穿上你最好的衣装吧 我也会戴上我的珍珠
Send me away with the words of a love song
Oh oh
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
